March 2021

TRAILWORK, RESTORATION, EDUCATION – 2021 WILL BE BUSIER THAN EVER FOR Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers. As more people enjoy our region's outdoors culture, how do we ensure that trail-users become trail-participants?

Part of the answer, for RFOV, is to serve more individuals and to serve our community differently. Keep reading for examples of how our programming will expand this year – our 2021 map of community events and project sites will be published in April.


Serving More, Serving Differently

There's something for everyone at RFOV! 

In 2021 we'll offer more ways to participate in our shared outdoors by bringing you up trails, over streams, and out into nature. All our programming will be included in one or more of the following categories:

Trailwork • Restoration • Community Education • Family Friendly • Young Stewards • Fire Adaptation • Social • Easy/Moderate/Strenuous • Technical • En Español • Accessible


Linkins Lake: Program Example

We're bringing the high alpine down to earth! As an example of how RFOV programming will take shape this year, at Linkins Lake we'll offer moderate-to-strenuous trailwork with technicalaspects, a community education and family friendly hike, and will showcase the ongoing commitment of our trail adopter:
